KENNETH ROLLINGCLOUD, Plaintiff, v. ED BUSS, et al., Defendants.
OPINION AND ORDER
Kenneth RollingCloud, a pro se prisoner, submitted a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (DE 1.) Although RollingCloud is presently detained at the Allen County Jail, he is suing over an incident occurring in 2009 at the Reception Diagnostic Center ("RDC") in Plainfield, Indiana. He names two defendants: an Indiana Department of Correction official located in Indianapolis, and a guard at the RDC. The events giving rise to this lawsuit occurred within the geographical boundaries of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and both defendants are located there. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), when a case is filed in the wrong district, the district court may in the interests of justice transfer the case "to any district or division in which it could have been brought." Therefore, this case is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.
